Pirlo also had a bit of time to himself in the water and he was seen lying in the sea and letting the waves crash against his body.

The star was perhaps contemplating the upcoming football season with Italian side Juventus, or maybe he was going over Italy’s failed World Cup campaign following their early exit from the competition along with England.

Unlike the England squad, there was something to celebrate for Pirlo at the tournament as he captained Italy in their 2-1 victory over the Three Lions.

But their
joy was short-lived as they crashed out of the tournament just two games
later after losing 1-0 to both Costa Rica and Uruguay.

Pirlo
has two children, Niccolò, 11, and Angela, eight, with ex-wife Deborah
Roversi, who he married in 2001 but divorced earlier this year.
